Let’s be honest here. Therapy is for everyone at some point in their life. It’s really not an extreme option and it shouldn’t be our last option. We all experience difficult times in our life and would benefit from a professional as well as the support of our friends and family to help us through it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da79a5eab0ad5de4df6e37/1632101775216-MTSAP4W4ON9DZW7OU6HQ/teletherapy+services Counseling, Jackson, MI - Teletherapy Services I offer teletherapy services using a HIPPA secure platform to allow for continuation of therapy services when you can’t make it into my office. You are participating in a session from the comfort of your own home. Teletherapy is similar to a FaceTime call or Zoom call. It can be used if one of us is feeling ill and shouldn’t come into the office. This is especially helpful to be safe during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is also helpful in situations regarding weather advisories or times where you can’t make a scheduled session due to travel times or distance, but you could connect with a device. Research is showing that teletherapy is just as effective as face to face sessions.

What you’re experiencing happens to people, unfortunately. You don’t know this because people don’t talk about it or post about it. You’ve probably been living like this for a long time. Therapy is a place to talk about it and figure out what to do about it. You’ve handled so much in your life, you kick ass most of the time…..what’s keeping you from living your best life? Let’s tackle this and get you back on track! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da79a5eab0ad5de4df6e37/1624930731046-QB850HGU44UWK44CUH2L/therapy-jackson-michigan Counseling in Jackson Michigan - Here’s what I can offer you. Psychotherapy happens when you can partner with a trained professional to discover and learn about yourself and develop a plan to learn how to feel better and cope better in your life. Wouldn’t it be nice to have your life back to normal? I use scientifically-based therapies in a confidential, non-biased, safe, office setting. One type of therapy I often use is cognitive behavior therapy as it works with many types of clients. https://www.jacksoncounseling.life/about-jeannine-rehberg-jackson-mi-counselor daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da79a5eab0ad5de4df6e37/1632100945850-54GI13YD7L8YAAI0WLGY/counseling-jackson-michigan About Jeannine Rehberg, Jackson, MI counselor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da79a5eab0ad5de4df6e37/558167bb-c1dd-4890-a8b1-d0b60367c375/Jackson+counseling+office About Jeannine Rehberg, Jackson, MI counselor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.jacksoncounseling.life/faqs-jackson-mi-counselor daily 0.75 2025-09-03 https://www.jacksoncounseling.life/anxiety-therapy daily 0.75 2022-06-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da79a5eab0ad5de4df6e37/1651607570420-F8XH0VE4BAX2AB7752XL/Anxiety+therapy+Jackson+Michigan Anxiety Therapy - If you are reading this and thinking, “Wow, that’s me…..” I’m so glad you are here. Read on to see if my anxiety therapy services could help you. You might cope by pretending that nothing is going on internally so that others don’t think you are “crazy.” You appear to act calm and well-rested so that those you care about don’t worry about you. You pretend that others are experiencing the same difficulties in life so that you don’t feel like anything is wrong in your life. Pepto-bismal and ibuprofen work wonders in the short-term. If you stay busy enough and distract yourself with “busyness,” then you feel better for a little while. If you stop your body’s constant need to move, (shaking your leg, sitting still) people won’t know the inner turmoil going on inside of you. You’ve learned to compensate for the constant barrage of information in your head, like making lists, putting reminders in your phone, going to bed early because you won’t fall asleep for another hour, etc. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60da79a5eab0ad5de4df6e37/1651606857531-R2RV7B8H05V5LU5FOZBS/anxiety+counseling Anxiety Therapy - My experiences with anxiety therapy. I have worked as a therapist with anxious clients since 2005. There have been times in my life that I would consider experiencing “seasons” of anxiety. I also happen to have loved ones that have an anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorders are probably one of the most common mental health disorders. Thanks to Covid 19, anxiety disorders are on the rise! (A little bit of sarcasm leaked out there…) I see people with anxiety disorders most often in my therapy practice. I have helped kids as young as four years old to older adults in their eighties learn to manage their anxiety disorder. Some have experienced anxiety more recently and others have dealt with it their whole life. I’ve found that folks that acknowledge and treat their anxiety disorder with therapy or a combination of therapy and medication feel better faster and successfully learn to live with their anxiety disorder. Research also indicates the same findings. If you are taking medication, I can work with your doctor to help find the most effective dosage and medication through information exchange. I do not prescribe medication. Anxiety disorders do not go away completely with therapy and/or medication, but can be learned to be tolerated or coped with. We can effectively reduce symptoms or the severity of your symptoms, so that you can live with it. You may find that there will be times in your life where your anxiety may be worse given the amount of stress you are experiencing. Stress can be experienced as emotional, physical, environmental, financial, spiritual, sexual, and mental. All of these states are important to our well-being, and when we experience stress in any one of them, we will react. Anxiety happens to be one reaction. Depression can be another reaction. Oftentimes, anxiety disorders and depressive disorders go hand in hand. They are often diagnosed together. This is due to the chemical in our brain, called serotonin. Both diagnoses struggle to get serotonin to the correct part of the brain to function normally. I love combining my clinical training with my experiences to foster a supportive space to understand how thoughts, feelings, and environmental stressors can make anxiety worse. Once we understand how these are working to make your anxiety hard to tolerate, we can use cognitive behavior therapy and in some instances, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) to reduce the anxiety response. We can also learn to identify what is causing your stressors and find ways to cope through it, such as using relaxation techniques, finding appropriate boundaries and limits that you are comfortable with setting, and challenging some automatic anxious thoughts. Of course healthy living such as a healthy diet, exercise, engaging in hobbies, and having healthy, supportive relationships are important in your treatment. I am trained in EMDR therapy.

I can also help you understand the biology of your brain and body’s trauma response so that we can better manage and address your own individual unique trauma experience. I have found that people that seek me out for trauma therapy, need some time to become comfortable with me. So, we’ll work on the therapeutic relationship first, and when you feel comfortable, we’ll learn some skills that will help you immediately manage the symptoms that you are experiencing now. These skills will also help us manage difficult emotions and sensations as we start to do some work “around” the trauma. I have heard trauma therapy compared to barrel racing. I think this is a great comparison. A therapist that is experienced in trauma therapy never goes head on with the trauma, instead we see the target (the barrel) and continually work toward it in circles, as the rider and horse can tolerate it, making smaller and smaller circles, until we are at the target. There are aspects of cognitive behavior therapy that are very effective with helping people with their trauma and EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) is proven to decrease symptoms. I am certified in EMDR therapy and have witnessed the power of people shifting their lives to their former selves or in some instances, their best version of themselves, by using this powerful therapy to address their trauma. For example, I had a woman client that was suffering from agoraphobia that stemmed from trauma. She was not able to go in social situations or public places due to severe anxiety. Using EMDR, she was able to proceed with her life as a middle aged woman who needed to be able to go to stores, go to church, run errands, and enjoy her life with her family. I can help you regain control of your life after experiencing trauma. You are not your trauma. The trauma is now part of you, but doesn’t control you. Let me help.
